	Gungdo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Korean soldiers used the bow as their primary weapon until modern times.
		What distinguishes Goongdo from other archery methods is that the drawing of the string is done with the thumb and index finger using a thumbring.
		The thumbring also had advantages in draw speed.

		However, the German hanger illustrated has certain different characteristics such as a solid cast brass hilt with spiral fluting, the globular pommel is similar but the ferrule is different and the capstan is more flattened....also, the thumbring is integral to the guard.
		It would seem that the thumbring was a feature used on latter 17th century Northern European swords, presumably for better control (seen on Swedish cavalry swords c.1680, but the feature reached Austrian as well as German swords through the 18th c.).
		While only hopeful speculation, especially as armourers were especially scarce in the colonies, the added thumbring could plausibly have been at request of owner.....but this would be most surprising as this feature was all but abandoned by this time of the 18th c.

	Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Polska szabla husarska - special for Radu
		Thumb ring should be in hussar sabre becouse it determined the way of fighting with this sabre.
		But there are sabres, which looked like hussar sabre and are named "hussar sabre" - and there is no thumbring.
		So it seems to me sometimes thumbring could be an improvement which was or wasn't fited up depends on individually order of the user.

	The WhistleSmith - Wicked Good Whistles Handmade in Maine: November 2005 Archives
		Of course there is a thumbring included with your whistle and everything is packed in a very sturdy triangular box with bubble wrap.
		He cut the bottom out of his thumbring just below the halfway mark, filed it nice and smooth and found the open bottom ring was just fine and still gave a nice hold on his thumb.
		The original person that tested the thumbring wore a size 12 ring and had big hands, so I figured that would be sufficient.

	The WhistleSmith - Wicked Good Whistles Handmade in Maine: September 2005 Archives
		A basketful of thumbrings would hardly seem an exciting event, but after hand making this basketful I felt really grateful to be finished for a while.
		Actually, I recently did a marathon event of thumbring making for a client that required four hundred in a hurry and almost did my right hand in for good.
		A flsmith of some 50 years of ability explained the set up for doing horse harness rivets on leather to me and it applies perfectly to making another improvement to the thumbring.

	Stickbow Target Archery Forum: Thumbring
		I occasionally shoot a 50lb Mongolian recurve with a thumbring, ang have never managed to get the arrows to fly straight, they always fly to the right.
		I have tried different spines, but assumed that I couldn't get the technique right.
		However, I was lent a 50lb Scythian recurve the other day, and tried that with the thumbring, the arrows went as straight as I would expect from my longbow, so meybe it is not my shooting that is causing the bad flight from the Mongolian.

		In some styles the bowstring and fletchings may actually be held behind one's head.
		The arrow is held at the first joint of the thumb, and the string rests on a thumbring (Mongol or Manchu) or a slot at the base of a gauntlet's thumb (Japanese language tsuri), so it does not hurt the thumb.
		A headband may be worn to keep the bowstring from hurting one's ear or head.

	Johnny Rockstar: General Nonsense Archives
		Because of where I found it, I can only assume that I had taken it off for Tai Chi or Yoga and forgot to put it back on… that was over a year ago.
		It’s strange because just a few days ago I mentioned to someone that I used to wear a thumbring.
		I hope nobody is watching me because I just removed the ring and smelled it; it may need a little soap and water action.

		Carol G'day Carol; thank you for your note and kind comments.
		I'm sorry; I live so far away that the cost of the mail would far outweigh the value of the thumbring.
		Simply get a strip of thin brass or copper about half an inch wide, long enough so when it is bent it would fit easily around your thumb.

		I love the handling that a thumbring provides.
		In my experience, fingering a ricasso weakens the strength of your cut, while a thumbring increases it.
		I would LOVE to try cutting with a wide hollow ground blade like that mounted with a thumbring!
